Numbers 6:21

21. Besides that that his hand shall get Better, besides what his hand grasps. R.V., “which he is able to get.” The foregoing sacrifices are absolutely necessary to the discharge of a temporary Nazarite; but other sacrifices, according to his ability, are optional. In after times there grew up the charitable custom, on the part of the rich, of defraying the expenses of the sacrifices requisite for the discharge of indigent Nazarites. This was a very popular act among the Jews. See Acts 21:24, note.

The ordinance of Nazariteship is full of interest and practical instruction to all who desire, in a very special manner, to set themselves apart from things which, though not absolutely sinful in themselves, nevertheless tend to interfere with that intense devotion and entire consecration of heart requisite to that evangelical perfection which consists in loving God with all the heart. It moreover foreshadows the pre-eminent consecration of “the Nazarite” and of all who fully follow the example of “the Holy One.”
